Property code: OC-2149

Escape to this delightful four-bed retreat in Docking for a break with your nearest and dearest. And, naturally, that includes your favourite four-legged friend. This lovely property is in the perfect location for any multi-generational family or friendship group to explore the inland villages and coastal resorts of North Norfolk. Offering spacious interiors with superb attention to detail throughout, with lots of seating areas to take time out in, you won’t get under each other’s feet here. There’s also a games room and a sizeable, enclosed garden for BBQ feasts.

Feel the stresses of everyday life dissipate as you recline on the sumptuous seating in the double-height lounge with its French doors out to the garden for warmer months and red-brick chimney housing a wood burner for cooler days – all under a beamed vaulted ceiling. The kitchen/diner is a similarly impressive space with room for more than one cook and a modern set-up for nine to eat under the cathedral ceiling. Settle old scores with a game of pool, table football or tennis and darts. Sleeping quarters comprise two king-size bedrooms, one double bedroom and one triple with three single beds. The large, furnished garden is ideal for canine sniffing missions.

If the sea is calling, take your faithful hound to Old Hunstanton Beach (8 miles) which has long sandy stretches backed by impressive dunes. It welcomes dogs year-round. Another wide, open, golden expanse at low tide is Brancaster Beach (6 miles). Don’t forget your bucket and spade! Keen birders will enjoy RSPB Titchwell Marsh but note that dogs can only go in certain areas and must be on a lead. Norfolk Lavender (6 miles) houses the English Collection of Lavender and makes an interesting outing, but do note that it only admits dogs in the grounds.

Beautiful modern, spacious and comfortable barn conversion with a games room par excellence and everything spotless and welcoming. As far as the accommodation itself, yes, would recommend to friends, but only if they didn't mind constant traffic and aircraft noise every day, morning til night.

We had a lovely weekend at Apple Tree Barn. It is a very spacious cottage and the layout is perfect on how it flows. Kitchen very well equipped and the bedrooms were very comfortable. Very clean property and the games room was a hit too. Garden very cute and secluded and a nice table and chairs. Excellent location, didnt feel far from anything so dRead moreefinitely a good base to explore the coast and more inland activities. We have stayed in many cottages over the years for friends or family get togethers and mainly in Norfolk, but this has been one of the nicer ones. Would not hesitate to recommend and would definitely return. Hide

As a large family this cottage was perfect. The lay out is great and there is plenty of space so you dont feel like youre on top of one another. The kitchen had all the amenities and we loved all the added touches in the cottage like the hall light sensors and the rechargeable torches in the bedrooms. Lovely shower! And huge bath. Its only a short Read moredrive away from Brancaster beach, Holkham beach and Hall are definitely worth a visit too. We honestly loved staying here. Hide
